Filmed among the red rocks of Sedona, this episode dives into dating with intention as the new year begins. Jen shares a teaser of her dating resolutions for the year ahead, opening up a conversation about clarity, standards, and what she’s no longer willing to settle for in relationships.

We also explore why the first kiss matters more than people admit—what it represents emotionally, how it signals interest, and why Jen believes being kissed on a date can say a lot about confidence, presence, and connection.

Set against Sedona’s grounding energy, this conversation blends reflection, chemistry, and honesty for anyone navigating modern dating and looking to start the year with clearer intentions.

In this engaging conversation, John and Jennifer explore the complexities of relationships, particularly focusing on gift-giving, love languages, and the emotional dynamics during the holiday season. They role-play various scenarios, discuss the importance of communication, and reflect on their personal experiences with gifts and relationships. The dialogue also touches on the challenges of reconnecting with exes and the significance of setting boundaries in toxic relationships. Ultimately, they reveal their holiday gifts to each other, emphasizing the value of experiences over material possessions.

The Naked Truth About Going Exclusive

How long should you wait before becoming exclusive in modern dating? A week? A month? Until the situationship gets “serious”? In this episode, we strip away the mixed signals, break down the emotional readiness people overlook, and get brutally honest about timelines, expectations, and the real signs someone is ready for commitment.

Whether you're tired of guessing, sick of getting strung along, or just want a clearer roadmap to healthy exclusivity, this episode gives you the straight truth—no fluff, no games.

Modern dating apps make it easy to meet people—but are you actually ready to date? In this episode, we talk about the uncomfortable truth: if you don’t meet basic requirements, aren’t emotionally available, or don’t know who you are, online dating will only make things worse. We dive into self-awareness, healing, standards, and how doing the work offline leads to better matches, healthier relationships, and dating with purpose.

I guarantee you've never heard anyone quite like Steve. He has some of the most interesting ways at looking at life. He's 70 years old and has lived in a houseboat, RV, traveled the country by bicycle and never had a career. He would work 6 months and then travel for 6 months picking up odd jobs here and there. He's truly a one of a kind individual. Enjoy
